Bills sign veteran Brandin Cooks in effort to boost WR room

The Buffalo Bills have signed veteran wide receiver Brandin Cooks to enhance their passing game options for quarterback Josh Allen. Cooks, who was released by the New Orleans Saints, joins the Bills after playing a limited role this season, recording 19 receptions for 165 yards. The addition of Cooks aims to address Buffalo's need for impactful pass-catchers, especially following Allen's recent struggles, including a two-interception game against the Texans.

The Bills' current leading receiver, Khalil Shakir, has 54 catches for 564 yards, while tight end Dalton Kincaid, who leads the team with four touchdown receptions, has been absent due to a hamstring injury. Additionally, rookie Keon Coleman, a 2024 second-round pick, has been inactive for the past two games despite being second on the team in receptions.

Cooks, who has amassed 9,697 yards and 60 touchdowns throughout his career, joins his sixth NFL team and is expected to integrate quickly
